PREFACE
(I)
With great Masters grace whole of our family and our small humble mission of Vardhaman Bharati International is dedicated to the cause of Vegetarianism, Violence Preven-tion, Yoga, Spirituality, Jainology & Meditational Music. A few of our Musical and Literary presentation are before the enlightened masses.
Our dedicated, industrious daughters Parul and Vandana had worked on our various projects, which were followed by their younger sisters. Dr. Vandana, then a Naturopath working at INYS, Jindal, Bangalore prepared a small but research rul Book "WHY VEGETARIANISM ?" presenting the Scientists' and Spiritualists' comparative points of views on Vegetarianism. It was published in 1990, well received, leaving only One Copy with us for records, but could not be reprinted due to want of funds, which our affluent society hardly provides, which otherwise spends crores of rupees on rituals! The same was the plight of other booklet "WHY ABATTOIRS ABOLITION ?" articles of which were studiously and compassionately commenc-ed by vandana's elder sister Parul-PRIYAVADINI. She, an M. A. Gold Medalist, 7 Journalism Awards Winner and Author of 7 books could not see the light of the day and passed away at her blooming young age in a road crossing Accident. News Papers published glowing tributes to her, out of which the Loksatta-Janasatta notes her spirit of Compassion in these Words: "PARUL WAS ENCOMPASSING THE ENTIRE NEARBY LIFE INTO THE SACRED TIE OF DIVINE LOVE. HER LOVE AND FEELINGS OF EQUA-LITY WERE SPREADED NOT ONLY TOWARDS THE HUMAN BEINGS, BUT ALSO TOWARDS ENTIRE WORLD INCLUDING BIRDS AND ANIMALS. UNUSUAL WAS THE SPREAD OF HER SUBLIME SPIRIT". (* Ramanlal Joshi, 22.3.92 Here, Parul (Priyavadi ni)-commenced articles of "WHY ABATTOIRS ABOLITION ?" and utilised by us during 1988-1993 Anti-Slaughter House Movement at Bangalore, are added with latest developments on the subject, by the undersigned, consta -ly inspired by Late priyavadini's spirit of Compassion and also by remote-listening of the screaming cries of the slaught ered Animals resounding "SAVE US...SAVE US..!"Is the deaf humar -kind going to respond to it ?....
